Call for papers
The International Conference “Architectural Experience II – Innovation within Heritage”, organized by the Faculty of Interior Architecture (UAUIM), is conceived as an itinerant scientific experience that aims to bring together scholars, academics, professionals and researchers from Europe involved in highlighting heritage values through conservation, restoration, or contemporary design interventions.
Conference Objective
The primary objective of this conference is to explore the multifaceted relationship between innovation and cultural heritage, highlighting the ways in which contemporary innovations can interact with, enhance, and transform our understanding and preservation of heritage. This conference aims to foster an interdisciplinary reflection on the dynamic interplay between past and future, conservation and transformation, memory and innovation.
The conference will delve into the economic and social dimensions of innovation in cultural heritage. This includes discussions on sustainable tourism, the economic impact of heritage sites, and the role of heritage in community development. We encourage submissions that investigate how heritage can drive economic growth and social cohesion, and how innovative approaches can make heritage more accessible and engaging for diverse audiences.
We also seek to examine how technological innovations (such as digital technologies and augmented reality) can be leveraged to conserve and enhance cultural assets. Additionally, we are interested in the role of big data and artificial intelligence in the cultural sector and how these tools can provide new insights and methods for heritage management. The conference will also address the development of new materials and techniques for restoration, exploring how advancements in science and technology can contribute to the preservation of historical artefacts and structures.
By bringing diverse perspectives together and fostering a dialogue between different fields, this conference aims to create a comprehensive understanding of how innovation can challenge and enrich our cultural heritage. Through this exploration, we hope to uncover new strategies for preserving and celebrating our shared heritage in an ever-evolving world.
We invite contributions that provide fresh insights and innovative solutions, and that demonstrate the significant impact of innovation on the preservation, interpretation, and appreciation of cultural heritage. Join us in this unique opportunity to explore the future of heritage through the lens of innovation.
